Griffins set to auction off dozen special jerseys Saturday night

GRAND RAPIDS -- The Grand Rapids Griffins will auction off a series of American Hockey League 75th anniversary jerseys bearing the names, numbers and autographs from some of the most well-known players in the franchise's past decade.

The first dozen will be available during a live auction that will be held after the Griffins' game against the Rochester Americans on Saturday night in the Fifth Third Bank Vault at Van Andel Arena.

The jerseys are identical to those worn by the team during its Feb. 5 game against Milwaukee.

There will be a minimum bid of $250. Proceeds benefit the Griffins Booster Club.
